Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee blast NPR over Juan Williams firing
POLITICO ^ | 10/21/10 | ANDY BARR

Posted on 10/21/2010 8:11:04 AM PDT by maggief

Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee rushed to the defense of political commentator Juan Williams on Thursday after he was fired by NPR for comments about Muslims.

Palin and Huckabee – both, like Williams, paid Fox News contributors – launched into the publicly funded radio network.

"NPR defends 1st Amendment Right, but will fire u if u exercise it," Palin tweeted. "Juan Williams: u got taste of Left's hypocrisy, they screwed up firing you."

And Soros has said he’s afraid America will win the war on terror. So it makes sense for Soros to replace any commentators or reporters who comprehends that at least part of Islam is intent on our destruction.

Scratch an actor and you’ll find an actress. Scratch a liberal and there’s a conservative in denial.

The real outrage is that NPR receives public funds. Maybe Rush should ask for an equal time/equal share...?

They talk about religion,
And man and God and law,
But they find you every time you slam the door,
Juan ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more...

Now he knows, nobody gets off the plantation at NPR, nobody.

No kidding. I don't think I've ever traveled on a plane where there hasn't been a Muslim onboard. I can't be John Madden my whole life. :O)

“Really unbelievable and so magnanimous. What a great lady!”

Conservatives believe in free speech; liberals don’t.

They own a lot of motels, convenience stores, Wendy’s, McDonald’s, etc. I’d sure like to know who’s funding these people. It takes a lot of money to buy a McDonald’s franchise. If they’ve got that much money they could have stayed in Pa-kee-ston and lived like a king.

And why is the government allowing all this to happen? Do we have a deal with the muslims? And how long has this deal been in place?

Most Americans know they may have to help defend a plane from hitting the White House, Capitol building etc, these days.

Sadly I’m afraid almost half of Americans on a plane would say “Let’s be tolerant and talk nice and maybe they’ll land the plane and let us off before they fly into a building.” I’ve read there were many like this on the plane that went down in PA even after they knew planes hat hit the twin towers.

All I know is on many occasions there’ve been TOO MANY M....F..... MUSLIMS ON THE M.....F.....PLANE!

Good ol’ Juan. I remember the Sunday shows when Juan would leave Brit Hume and Bill Krystol speechless. One day the both of them stared with their mouths wide open. It was priceless. :-)

That being said, Juan Williams is a good man with an honest heart. I disagree with 99% of his ideology, but it does not keep me from recognizing his character. NPR can go to hell.

What point?

That she should be something the MSM wants her to be instead of being herself?

The point was not only NOT valid, it was pretty stupid.

In an interview with Juan, he said that the person who fired him said the order came from above...perhaps their magnanimous donor.
